changing properties in realtime

[tau at wayne]

Can this be done?

I have a numerical control and a for loop. I would like to modify the propertis of the num control so that it increments as much as the counter terminal , i.e the num control is a multiple of the counter. The user might run the for loop x times ones and another time y times. Can num control be modified that it is a multiple of any value?

Thanks.

Well, have you had a look at the 'Value' property for controls? Let me know if you need further clarification. Also, it's always a good idea to post an application that explains the idea so you get faster and more accurate responses.

You can also use local variables or change the control to an indicator and simply use the indicator.  These will be much higher performance than the Value property.

I have attached a pic, hopefully it would be more clear.

Now ... at the properties section, I am given the ability to change by how much does the number increment. I want that property to be able to change every time the user selects a new loop counter. I want the loop counter value to be in there.

example. If the loop is 2 and the numb 1  is 6, the next value incremented would be 8. If the loop counter is 5, the value would be 11. I want to limit the users input to only the numbers that would make sense in this particular program.

Yes you can change these properties at runtime (realtime is something different).

Right click on the terminal of the control, select Create->Property->Data Entry Limits -> Increment.

Good luck.
